💖 NAME 💖

Type::Coercion::Union — bestie, it's literally a whole set of coercions that all point at a union type constraint 🦋

So real quick, this page? It's Type::C...n::Union(3) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's about to be your new favorite thing. Sit down, hydrate, let's go 💅

✨ STATUS ✨

This module is covered by the Type-Tiny stability policy. So like… it's got rules, it's got structure, it's giving stable. 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so the tea ☕: this package inherits from Type::Coercion, and if you wanna know most of the deets you should go read that page. That's where the main documentation lives, no cap.

But here's what's different about this one, and it's only two things, so don't stress:

  • The add_type_coercions method always throws an exception. Like, every single time. Not a vibe, not a maybe — it's a hard no. 🙈
  • The type_coercion_map gets automatically populated from the child constraints of the union type constraint. It just... happens. No manual labor required. Iconic behavior fr fr ✨

💀 BUGS 💀

Found a bug? Bestie please tell someone 😭 Report it here:

That's the spot. That's the place. Go there. 🫶

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

  • Type::Coercion — the parent, the blueprint, the main character it inherited from.
  • Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union — a whole other union coercion situation, if you're curious.
